Technical Abstract

An audio signal processing method includes receiving an audio signal corresponding to a voice of a talker, obtaining an image of the talker, estimating posture information of the talker using the image of the talker, generating a correction filter according to the estimated posture information, performing filter processing on the audio signal using the generated correction filter, and outputting the audio signal on which the filter processing has been performed.
